Day 1 : Gocek Boarding starts at 15:30 from Gocek Harbour. Gocek is a natural harbour lying at the head of the Gulf of Fethiye on the Turquoise coast of Turkey, just 22km from Dalaman International Airport.

It is priceless to be away from the crowd, alone with oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thoughts, communing with nature spending some time with friends, waves, and wind when you are sailing in Gocek Bays. Gocek mostly caters for yachtsmen and women; consequently there is very little nightlife in the town, apart from one or two very pleasant bars and a music/dance bar. As sailors generally wake early, sail during the day, and sleep early, the most active time in Gocek is between 19:00 and 22:00 hrs, during which time the many bars and restaurants are buzzing with clients.
